Is anyone aware of an open-source smart plug or smart outlet with a public API? ...That doesn't assume a big-tech integration?

- Nextgrid 5y agoTP-Link Kasa is nice. They can be controlled locally, and the official app (which is needed to initially set up the plug) doesn’t require an account - there’s a “skip” button if you press login.
- mcbishop 5y agoThanks, I'll try it out.
- londons_explore 5y agoTasmota is a fully open source firmware that can be flashed onto lots of cheap WiFi smart plugs and bulbs, and has a lot of power-user features. "Sonoff" hardware is probably the best supported, and is very cheap.
- mcbishop 5y agoRight on, I really appreciate it.
